Port Canaveral terminated Sgt. Ron King after investigating the incident. Port Canaveral Spokeswoman Rosalind Harvey said King brought the targets to a gun range where officers were training about two weeks ago. Someone reported the incident to Port Canaveral authorities, who suspended and then fired King.

“It is absolutely reprehensible that a high-ranking member of the Port Canaveral police, sworn to protect and serve Floridians, would use the image of a dead child as target practice,” the statement said. “Such a deliberate and depraved indifference to this grieving family is unacceptable.”

King released a YouTube video saying he is being accused of something he didn't do.

"I refuse to sit by while others use the Martin family and myself as a way to further their own political and career agendas," he said.

King said he didn't offer the targets for others to shoot, that it was a "non-shoot training aid" and no derogatory comments were made.

King also apologized to Martin's family, saying he is sorry they got caught up in what he called a political agenda.

HE WENT TO THE GUN RANGE IN BREVARD COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN COCOA WHERE OFFICERS TRAINED AND STARTED TO HAND OUT TARGETS SIMILAR TO THESE TO OTHER OFFICERS. WE REACH OUT TO THE FAMILY OF TRAYVON MARTIN FOR THEM NEEDING TO HEAR ANY OF THIS AND THE GRIEF THAT IT MUST BRING THEM AS WELL AS ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY, THAT WE JUST DON'T FIND THIS BEHAVIOR ACCEPTABLE ON ANY LEVEL. NOW, THIS IS A STATEMENT FROM ATTORNEY BENJAMIN CRUMP, THE ATTORNEY FOR THE TRAYVON MARTIN, HE SAYS, QUOTE, IT IS ABSOLUTELY REPREHENSIBLE THAT A HIGH-RANKING MEMBER OF THE PORT CANAVERAL POLICE SWORN TO PROTECT FLORIDIANS WOULD USE THE IMAGE OF A DEAD CHILD AS TARGET PRACTICE.
